Nerp. Still Not Deep Enough

Let us reassess whether atheism should be divided or not. Lemme see… Would I want to be on the same side as The Amazing Atheist, f’r instance? Ha ha ha ha no.

My, that was easy. Someone that despicable clearly has no place on my side of the Deep Rift™. I don’t fancy wading hip-deep in festering hatred just to get a larf at creationism. Why, all I need for that is to read their very own textbooks.

But what about his addled supporters? Should I, perhaps, build a small rope bridge between us?

I shall be assidiously avoiding all association with those who think it’s better to defend an asshole than find and promote the non-assholes who do the same work. I am not so desperate for allies that I need to accept such grotty specimens.

No, the side that embraces people who find it sporting good fun to deliberately trigger rape victims, threaten to rape people with a fist, and hate on teenage girls because society frowns on them salivating on same, can stay far, far away from my side. They, to me, are what the Westboro Baptist Church is to my liberal Christian friends.

I think we can do nicely without that sort, thanks. In point of fact, I think we must.

And one of the best results of the post-elevatorgate divide has been the banding together of non-assholes. I had no idea that there were so many great bloggers out there exploring the intersection of social justice and atheism.

I put a lot of money building this earthquake-making device in hopes that it would tear great gashes in the earth between us and anti-social-justice and antifeminists. I’ll be damned if that money goes to waste. *fires it up again*

And if the Deeeeeeeeeeep Rifffffffffffftttttsssss fill up with water we can introduce swarms of crocoducks. That should help keep the damn varmints away from the social justice atheist enclave. (I wish. I’m neck deep in the critters up here on the mountain.)
